This is majoritarian thinking. It's like architects neglecting, for
centuries, to include step-free access in public buildings, because
"Most people are OK with it."
It excludes others.
Not everyone has, or can have, a Microsoft (GitHub) account.
Not everyone uses proprietary JavaScript or is otherwise able to report
bugs or submit patches GitHub.

No, please DO NOT move OpenWRT core infrastructure to GitHub.

If OpenWRT devs/maintainers want to outsource code/bug-hosting, please
look at accessible FOSS hosts like SourceHut, as previously mentioned.
